    4767 was completed on the last day of the LMS, 31 December 1947 at Crewe Works. It was unique amongst the 842-strong class in that it featured outside Stephenson link motion in addition to other experimental features; a double chimney, Timken roller bearings throughout and electric lighting.

    These modifications were part of a series of experiments by George Ivatt to improve the already excellent William Stanier-designed Black Five.

    4767 was renumbered 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. It's double chimney was removed in 1953. It was withdrawn in December 1967 after a working life of only 20 years.
    There are a of of new photos added along with some close up photos of the motion on 44767
